<p>When the Doobie Brothers (now in the midst of a summer-long co-headline tour with Chicago) hit the stage at the Forum in Los Angeles on Saturday June 10, it was hard not to reflect and start to take stock of their legacy. As they swaggered into Jesus is Just Alright (just how they kicked off the first time they played this vaunted venue back in 1975), it became clear (as it often does when musical chords touch our emotional chords) that certain artists are simply woven into our collective consciousness. We cant escape them, nor do we want to. After all, they bring back our hopes, dreams and the restless, wild energy thats the glue holding together the pages of our scrapbook youth.<br />
<br />
They are our tribal soundtrack.<br />
<br />
This band was born almost 50 years ago, emerging from roughly the same musically fertile Bay Area landscape that produced many other legendary outfits, from the Dead to the Airplane to Creedence and beyond. In a seedy little house on Twelfth Street in San Jose, the jamming began.

<p>The Doobie Brothers celebrated the success of their 2015 tour partnership with the Love Hope Strength Foundation by garnering a potentially life-saving bone marrow match between a blood cancer patient and one of their fans. Love Hope Strength joined forces with The Doobie Brothers in the summer of 2015 adding their Get On The List registry to several shows across the country. With the help of The Doobie Brothers and other supporting artists, Love Hope Strength has gained 36,940 registrations and 710 matches on the National Bone Marrow Registry this year to date. This match resulted from a fan who registered at the bands performance at Ocean City Bikefest in Ocean City, MD in September.<br />
<br />
The cause hits close to home for the band, particularly Patrick Simmons, whose son, Pat Simmons, is a cancer survivor. Simmons notes, Love Hope Strength is an amazing partnership for The Doobie Brothers. We couldnt be more thrilled to be a part of what theyre doing which is saving lives. I am so excited that we were able to generate a match this year and cant wait to continue our relationship with them in 2016!<br />
<br />
Katie Poppert, Vice President of Programs, attended The Doobie Brothers show in Naperville, IL on Nov. 15 on behalf of Love Hope Strength and was able to spend some time with the band before their performance. It was our absolute pleasure to be invited to tour with the legendary Doobie Brothers this year. They have some of the most dedicated and giving fan base, and many were eager to help out in our joined efforts to save the lives of those with blood cancers by signing up to the national bone marrow registry to see if they could be a match for patients in need of a transplant. Because of their fans, we were able to secure our first potentially life-saving match from their tour, which is incredible. We look forward to working with them again as we continue our mission of saving lives, one concert at a time!<br />
<br />
Wrapping up an immense tour of sold out performances in 2015, The Doobie Brothers played 90+ shows in over 30 states and Canada. The band closed out the year with the Warren Haynes 27th annual Christmas Jam in Ashville, NC, on December 12, performing along with Warren himself, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Dawes, Blackberry Smoke and Bruce Hornsby. In 2016, the band will be co-headlining the highly anticipated San Francisco Fest Tour 2016 with Journey.<br />
<br />
<strong>ABOUT LOVE HOPE STRENGTH FOUNDATION</strong><br />

<br />
The Doobie Brothers announce the addition of Bill Payne as resident keyboard player in their touring band. Payne is considered to be one of the finest American piano rock and blues players in the world, known for his own band, Little Feat, as well as performing on numerous studio albums for other artists including Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Pink Floyd, Bob Seger and more. He previously collaborated with The Doobie Brothers both in the studio and on the road; a relationship the band is looking forward to rekindling.<br />
<br />
Tom Johnston notes, I have been a fan of Billys playing since his days with Little Feat. Weve had the good fortune of having him play on almost all the albums weve done in this version of the band, and thats quite a few. Hes a phenomenal, one-of-a- kind keyboard player, and having him join the band is a huge plus both for the live show and for writing future studio projects.<br />
<br />
Patrick Simmons adds, s such a pleasure to have Bill playing with us every night. Little Feat and The Doobies started out together at Warner Bros., with Ted Templeman producing both bands. There has been an incredibly close friendship, and so many musical collaborations through the years. The fit is just right. Bill takes us to a noticeably higher level that is inspiring to all of us, and our fans.<br />
<br />
John McFee affirms, ve always been a fan of Billys. As an outsider, I admired his work with Little Feat and also his incredible contributions to The Doobie Brothers music I mean, China Grove would probably have a different title if it werent for Billys piano lick in the bridge. Ive also been lucky enough to work with Billy on a number of recording projects besides some of the Doobies recordings, with people like Emmylou Harris, Nicolette Larson, Amy Holland, Eikichi Yazawa and others. There just isnt a finer player on the planet. A good guy, too! Were very fortunate to have him aboard.<br />
<br />
Bill Payne shares his perspective, Having played on many of their albums, and spent time on the road with them over the years, it is an absolute honor to be in the band. They have some truly great songs, the musicianship is the best, and they are good people. Im very happy about this union.<br />
<br />

<br />
Just about everybody can sing along with the classic rock staple Black Water, a Patrick Simmons-penned tune thats just one of the Doobie Brothers catalog of hits: Listen to the Music, Jesus is Just Alright, It to the Streets, China Grove, What a Fool Believes and many more.<br />
<br />
The Doobie Brothers played Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center (CMAC) Friday night and for Doobies co-founder Simmons, it was something of a family affair, as his son Patrick Williams Jr. performed the opening set (and was joined by his dad on the CMAC stage).<br />
<br />
The CMAC summer season is winding down, with just two shows left on the concert calendar: Idina Menzel on Aug. 30, and Dierks Bentley (with Kip Moore, Maddie & Tae and Canaan Smith) on Sept. 3. For ticket information, see www.cmacevents.com.<br />

<strong>THE DOOBIE BROTHERS: THE WARNER BROS. YEARS</strong><br />
<br />
10-CD Boxed Set Includes Every Album The Legendary â€¨Band Recorded For Warner Bros. Records Between 1971 And 1983<br />
<br />
Available On July 24 From Rhino</p>
</center>
<p>The Doobie Brothers recorded some of the bands most iconic music during their dozen years with Warner Bros. Records, scoring major hits with timeless tunes like Long Train Runnin Black Water, and It To The Streets. With 46 million albums sold during their outstanding career, The Doobie Brothers have nothing left to prove, but this summer the group is still Down the Highway as they tour North America.<br />
<br />
Rhino salutes the group with a new 10-CD boxed set that features some of the bands greatest albums. THE WARNER BROS. YEARS 1971-1983 will be available on July 24 for a list price of $79.98.<br />
<br />
The set includes more than 110 songs from 10 albums: <em>The Doobie Brothers</em> (1971), <em>Toulouse Street</em> (1972), <em>The Captain And Me</em> (1973), <em>What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits</em> (1974), <em>Stampede</em> (1975), <em>Takin It To The Streets</em> (1976), <em>Livin On The Fault Line</em> (1977), <em>Minute By Minute</em> (1978), <em>One Step Closer</em> (1980), and <em>Farewell Tour</em> (1983). The Doobie Brothers started out in 1969 as a northern California bar band. In 1970 the band signed with Warner Bros. and in 1971 released its self-titled debut album. It was the beginning of a 12-year streak in which The Doobies released ten new albums.<br />
<br />
The groups commercial breakthrough came with its sophomore effort, <em>Toulouse Street</em>, which boasted popular tracks like Listen To The Music and Jesus Is Just Alright. The string of hits continued on The Captain And Me with Long Train Runnin and the classic China Grove. The Doobie Brothers notched their first #1 in the funky Black Water from their 1974 album <em>What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits</em>.<br />
<br />
In 1975, the band began to expand Pat Simmons and Tom Johnstons rock and country influences with R&B and even scored a hit with its cover the Motown track, Take Me In Your Arms (Rock Me A Little While.) In 1976, with the addition of Michael McDonald to the band, they introduced more R&B and keyboards to their rocking sound and the hits kept rolling with the title track from <em>Takin It To The Streets</em>. In 1979, The Doobie Brothers won four Grammy Awards on the strength of its triple-platinum album, <em>Minute By Minute</em>. The final disc in this new collection is the 1983 live album <em>Farewell Tour</em>, which includes performances of songs that spanned the bands entire history to that point. This 10 CD Set represents an outstanding body of work from one of Americas most popular bands.<br />

The result is which finds the band partnering with country singers such as Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley, Hunter Hayes, Chris Young and Toby Keith. The November release consists of 12 classic songs, including China Grove, Listen to the Music, Black Water and Jesus Is Just Alright.<br />
<br />
Guitarist John McFee argues that only a fool would believe the Doobie Brothers, who will appear Feb. 25 in Pompano Beach, and country music are an ill fit. When the band broke up in 1982, McFee and Doobies drummer Keith Knudson formed South Pacific, which lasted from 1983 to 1991 and reached No. 1 on the country charts with New Shades of Blue and Honey, I Dare You. (The Doobies reunited in 1987.)<br />
<br />
For me, personally, the process has been more of moving into country, or at least sideways into it, McFee says in an email. To me, country music has always been part of my life.<br />
<br />
McFee, 64, says country also played a major role in shaping the Doobie Brothers sound. He notes that Black Water employs acoustic finger-picking and country fiddle, and South City Midnight Lady features pedal steel.<br />
<br />
Even Listen to the Music had banjo on it, he says.<br />
<br />
The Doobie Brothers formed in 1970. McFee joined in 1979, and again in 1992. Singer-guitarists Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons have been with the band since the beginning. The current lineups five other musicians joined within the past 17 years.<br />
<br />
McFee says the band often has a tough time figuring out which songs to play in concert. The Doobie Brothers recorded nine albums from 1971 to 1980, seven of which went platinum.<br />
<br />
Our fans have their favorites and wish list songs theyd like to hear, he says. When it comes time to play the shows, though, it always feels like there is a natural flow to the transitions, and we try hard to make the shows musically engaging for both the fans and ourselves.<br />

<div><strong>About Lupus</strong></div>
<div>Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, or lupus) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect the joints and almost every major organ in the body, including the heart, kidneys, skin, lungs, and brain. As many as 1.5 million people in the United States have lupus which affects mostly women during childbearing years, though men and children can have the disease. Lupus is three times more common in African-American women than in Caucasian women and is also more prevalent in women of Latino, Asian, and Native American descent.</div>
<div></div>
